About Facelift Treatment
Facelift (Rhytidectomy) begins with a discreet incision placed around the hairline and in front of the ears, sometimes extending slightly behind them depending on your anatomy. The incision follows natural facial creases, helping conceal any facelift scars.
Your surgeon will gently lift the skin and reposition the deeper muscles and tissues to redefine your jawline, cheeks, and lower face. Excess skin is removed for a smoother, firmer look before the incisions are closed with fine sutures.
While some clinics offer mini facelift procedures, at Signature Clinic we specialise in full facelift surgery under local anaesthetic designed to deliver longer-lasting, natural results.

Our Surgeons
"Dr Sherif Elamari and his team were amazing! He took lots of time to explain everything to me the morning of the procedure. The medical team were lovely throughout and the aftercare was great, I could call anytime I had a query. And my facelift looks great! The first 2 weeks were rough and you have to be able to wait out a period of looking strange. For such a reasonable price, i really wasn't expecting much, but 6 weeks later, I look great and nobody would be able to tell I've had it done."
"I visited Signature's Birmingham Clinic, and the entire team was really warm and welcoming when I arrived and checked in. Dr. Carlo Debbas is exceptionally talented and kind, and I am very pleased with my facelift results. Friends and family have complimented my skin and appearance on numerous occasions. My confidence has grown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Carlos Debbas and Signature Clinic."
"I had a fantastic experience (full facelift). The entire process was explained right from the consultation, the surgery, the outcomes, costs, time off etc which made it easy to plan for the surgery."

Facelift FAQ
How much does a facelift cost in the UK?
The facelift cost UK varies depending on the type of procedure and whether you choose to combine it with a neck lift. At Signature Clinic, a face lift cost is £5,750, while a combined face and neck lift is about £9,450.
What’s included in the face lift cost at Signature Clinic?

What aftercare is provided?
We provide every patient with complimentary out-of-hours aftercare. Our patient promise is to be at the clinic within 60 minutes of your emergency if necessary.
After a facelift, will there be visible scarring?
Scarring is kept to an absolute minimum through the use of the most advanced facelift techniques available. Incision sites are carefully selected to reduce visibility both during the healing process and in the long term. For both men and women, these incisions are strategically placed to remain well concealed.
Facelift scars are typically located along the hairline and around the ears, allowing the hair to naturally disguise them. With time and proper aftercare, scars gradually fade and flatten, often becoming barely noticeable.
How long does a facelift last?
The results of a facelift typically last for several years. While a facelift addresses some of the most visible signs of ageing, the natural ageing process does continue over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a good skincare routine can help support and prolong your results for as long as possible.
After a facelift, will there be bruising and swelling?
Swelling is a side effect of all surgical treatments, including facelifts. Bruising following surgery varies depending on the patient’s natural healing processes. After two to three weeks, any swelling and bruising should subside and eventually go away.
How long after a facelift can someone exercise?
It’s recommended not to perform strenuous exercise for the first 2-3 weeks following the facelift procedure.
